Description

This printable escape room will help you channel the excitement of Halloween in a positive way. It’s a great way to pump up student engagement, encourage teamwork, and practice problem solving and following written directions. By solving six puzzles related to Halloween, they will work together to come up with a code that will let them escape from a haunted house. They will think hard and have a blast doing it!

In this escape room, the scenario is: After going to what they thought was a fun haunted house, they realize it's a REAL one and end up locked inside. The

students’ mission is to solve 6 challenges and use those "secret words" to come up with a 4-digit code that will allow them get out of the haunted house and get back home. As the timer counts down (suggested time is 30 minutes), participants will work with a partner or small group to solve 6 different kinds of puzzles in the allotted time.

The only preparation needed on your part is to copy the 6 puzzles and distribute them to student. Some teachers like to have students check each answer with them before progressing, but an optional Google Form is included so students can self-check as they solve each puzzle. Answers to each “lock” are typed into a Google Form, which tells them immediately if their answer is correct so they can move on to the next challenge. You may want to have a 4-digit combination lock available for students (NOT included) when they try their final code, but it is not necessary. There is a printable page included where you can write the code for students to check when they finish.

This PDF includes:

•6 puzzle cards that can be copied in color or black & white

•Student instructions and explanation of “secret mission”

•Student recording sheet for answers

•Detailed teacher instructions & suggestions for use

•Answer key for all 6 challenges

•4 congratulatory signs for “victory photos” after their success
